FAQs
Are these trunks suitable for intense swimming?
They are designed for leisure and poolside use; while functional, they are not specifically optimized for competitive lap swimming.
Can I put these in the dryer?
It is not recommended. High heat can damage the elastic and the branded tape. Air drying is best.
What does the regular fit mean?
The regular fit provides a standard, comfortable silhouette that is neither too tight nor excessively baggy.
Do the pockets have zippers?
No, the pockets are open-style hand pockets, which are ideal for casual items but not for securing valuables in the water.
Is the fabric prone to fading?
As with most high-quality swimwear, rinsing with fresh water after use significantly reduces the risk of chlorine-induced fading.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring feels loose or slips
Ensure the knot is tied securely while the elastic is slightly stretched; if the drawstring retracts, use a small safety pin to feed it back through the eyelet.
Fabric retains salt or chlorine scent
Soak the trunks in a bowl of cold water with a splash of white vinegar for 15 minutes before performing a normal wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Boss Tape Trunks remain in optimal condition, always rinse them in fresh, cool water after exposure to chlorine or saltwater. This practice prevents fabric degradation and salt crystallization. When washing, use a standard machine cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents or high-heat drying, as these can compromise the integrity of the taped branding and the elastic waistband. Air drying in a shaded area is the preferred method to maintain the vibrancy of the fabric.
